The Larks "Shadrack" Killer Gospel-Soul

Apparently there are two groups called The Larks, This one is NOT the one with Don Julian. This group the lead singer is Eugene Mumford. This tune gets better every time I listen...takes a while to appreciate since its so understated but the lead vocalist begins to "loom" awesomely after repeated listenings. And did Ray Charles get "Hit The Road Jack" from thos number?

@HeywoodJadumi My Reverie is the best song I've heard by this great group but I must admit I haven't heard many of their songs more than a few times (except for 'Reverie'). This one is really good and quite different from others I've heard by the Larks.

Only heard this song by Brook Benton before. The Larks make his version (which I always loved) seem like bubble gum music.

@doowopsylv Stolen Love by the Larks was just posted by "TheNickNicola" Enjoy! BTW, I agree with you that this is a great song, but I've always preferred "My Reverie" with Gene Mumford on lead.
